Your Views: Pit bulls are friendly unless they’re raised to be mean

Regarding pit bulls, which have been given a bad name, I volunteered for dogs to be adopted in Sarasota, Fla., for 13 years. The dogs were brought to PetSmart every Sunday by the sheriff’s department. There were so many pit bulls, and they jumped in my lap and licked my face, very friendly dogs.

It is how they are raised as to whether they are mean. These poor dogs were strays.

I wish there was a volunteer association here. I liked being there to help the dogs.
